As documented on the 1973 album Eric Clapton’s Rainbow Concert, the performance does not rank among Eric Clapton’s best.  However, the album can certainly be appreciated as the re-emergence of one of the great guitar gods from a demon that had already claimed many of the best rock musicians.  From this point on, Eric Clapton’s colorful career has been primarily as a solo artist, beginning with the 1974 album 461 Ocean Boulevard; his debut solo album was Eric Clapton (1970).
